First lady of Bad Boy Records, Cassie, is set to release her new single ‘Long Way 2 Go’ on October 23rd. Produced by talented hit-maker Ryan Leslie (Britney Spears, Beyouncé and JOJO) the track comes out through Bad Boy/Atlantic Records and is sure to be a banger! 20 year old Cassie, who was signed by Executive of Bad Boy Records, Mr P Diddy himself, follows the sucess of her debut single,M & U which stormed the billboard R&B charts at number 1 and entered UK singles chart at number 6. ‘Long Way 2 Go’ is the second single taken from Cassie’s self-titled debut album.
The single is very sexy and with a melodramatic bass background. It’s a calm drama story of a typical New York scene ‘hot girl rejecting a handful of boys’.Her sassy and confident lyrics instructing prospective males to step up their game: “I love it when they try to get scandalous /Even though they know they really can't handle it /(They can't handle it?) They can't handle it /Try and take me out to dinner I cancel it”.
